    even if they have enough to get a recall election, he wont be recalled. all you hear about is the squeaky wheel - the angry people. a good portion of the state's public is pleased. you just dont see them in the street because things are going their way.

    walker didnt suddenly become conservative, you know. he was elected to do just what he's doing.

  3. The simple fact that you're so much against it is almost proof that it was the right move. Get a clue oblivious one. "Real Americans" do NOT support union-owned legislators fleeing the state and confiscating money from working people to pay for the "benefits" of collective gardening, like:

    A Year’s Worth of Pay for 30 Days of Work

    Teachers Receiving Two Pensions

    Almost $10,000 Per Year for Doing Nothing

    No Volunteer Crossing Guards Allowed

    $6,000 Extra for Carrying a Pager

    Arbitrator Reinstates Porn-Watching Teacher

    ‘Outstanding First Year Teacher’ Laid Off

    Union Opposes Cost-Saving Lawn Mowing Program

    The $150,000 Bus Driver

    $150,000 Correctional Officers

  4. Of course, this victory in Wisconsin, that the conservatives are lauding, will bell the conservative cat in 2012?

    This will work in the dems favor in 2012, count on it.

    thats twice today youre making faulty assumptions.

    people ragged on how Chris Christie could never go against the unions in NJ (arguably a much more liberal state than Wisconsin) and he did, and his popularity went UP significantly despite everyone railing about how he would be "crushed" by his decisions.

  6. I did not support the dems fleeing the state. If fact I wrote it was the wrong thing to do and they should have taken their beating, and then fight the fight in the court of public opinion.
    What's amazing to me is how you can give a free pass to those that destroyed an economy for fun and profit, and then set this high degree of personal accountability for the man in the street. How you can defend the boardroom criminals is beyond me, but if that's who you are, then that's who you are. Just don't come bitching when the boot is on your throat, and that day is coming sooner than later. A government that can just make shit up as it suits, and gives no voice to the people it supposedly represents, is a government to be very afraid of.

  7. Again Tsing, it's early. Now Christie is a leading candidate for the GOP to attempt to unseat a sitting president, an unenviable task. We will see how this affects Christie down the stretch.

    What a crock of bullshit!! The middle class is being wiped out in this country. There will be only the rich and the poor at the mercy of the rich. An environment ripe for chaos. This is the first generation that parents knows that their children will not have opportunities in life better than themselves. A sorry state of affairs. And you stupid people on this blog thinks you are on the upper crest of society and the changes coming will not affect you. Better stock up on your ammo.
